Wouldn't you just LOVE to receive your new comics already graded by CGC? Well, now you can... and not only will they be graded, but you'll be guaranteed a NM/MT grade of 9.8! How can you get in on this fabulous deal, you wonder? Just purchase a year's subscription through http://www.colossuscomics.com.

The subscription service, offered by collectible comic book seller Colossus Comics, Inc., is a simple way for collectors to receive the issues and grading they want without the hassle, cost and unpredictability of sending in books themselves.

"Colossus Comics' service is a great way for collectors to acquire certified 9.8-grade new comics, and to archive them in CGC's state-of-the-art tamper-evident holder," said Steve Borock, CGC vice president and primary grader. "This is the only service I know of guaranteeing near mint/mint CGC grades on an ongoing subscription basis."

Colossus Comics' guaranteed 9.8 CGC-grade subscription is good for any ongoing comic series in print, from Batman to Ultimate Spider-man. Subscribers receive the CGC-graded and archived 9.8 copy along with an ungraded reading copy. These arrive approximately two weeks after issue date to allow time for grading.

"I use CGC to grade the books in my personal collection, as well as to help boost the value of books I sell," said Steve Mortensen, president of Colossus Comics, Inc. and ebay Power Seller (id: smortensen). "Setting up this CGC 9.8-grade subscription service was a natural result of my own experience. I want to offer a simple, reliable way for collectors to get their favorite new comics at one of the best grades possible."

The cost of a one-year CGC 9.8 subscription is $396, paid in four $99 installments (the first at time of order). This fee includes all grading, shipping, insurance and cover price costs for 12 monthly issues of the subscriber's chosen title (all 12 must be the same title).

As a bonus, all subscribers will have a chance each month to win, by lottery, a free CGC-graded 9.9 or 10.0 comic in addition to their regular subscription. The number of MINT/GEM MINT books each month will vary depending on availability, and may be of any ongoing series title.

Subscriptions can be ordered through http://www.colossuscomics.com, on ebay (id: smortensen), or by calling 1-408-260-9109. For more details about the service, email steve@colossuscomics.com.
